Leigh Lane | Green Belt Property

UX Architects have been developing a property within the Green Belt; an area in which planning restrictions are integral to the design.

UX Architects worked closely with Ken Parke Planning to apply for a replacement dwelling within the Green Belt. The site consisted of an existing agricultural barn that we gained planning permission to convert to residential with a 30 % enlargement. Once established in principle, a three-bedroom detached dwelling within the Green Belt was secured. The building was designed to be sympathetic to both its surrounding environments and neighbours, by reducing overlooking both into the site and upon its neighbours.
